Clete Blakeman
WK #11 2011
MNF – Kansas City Chiefs VS New England Patriots
This is the 2nd Monday night game this season that Clete Blakeman is the referee…he was the ref in Motown between the Bears and the Lions back in week 5.
I don’t really care for Blakemans calls. Its just that I question his ability to be a head ref..
Nita I agree with you.
Blakeman is one of the better refs. Entire crew is great. He’ll ref s superbowl soon after he is eligible. Him and Steratore and Parry are the furture
Mike Carey and Jerome Boger are eligible for PHI @ NYG.
Jeff Triplette is eligible for NYJ @ DEN.
Hi Mikey:
Carl Cheffers’ crew in Saint Louis this week, Sun. Nov.20 (Seattle @ St. Louis, 16:15 EST, Edward Jones Dome)
WK #11 only games Ed Hochuli is eligible:
Titans VS Falcons
Jaguars VS Browns
Bengals VS Ravens
Cardinals VS 49ers
OFF
Sorry Becky–wrong. Hochuli is in Washington.
Nita, Hochuli in Washington on Sunday =
Hochuli in Baltimore on Thanksgiving Night ???
it’s because Hoch worked earlier dal-was match up so we excluded him from being available, now we know refs can work same matchup
Like the “work two home games for a team”, “same matchup” is another common mistake, which (at least) was not in effect whatsoever last season.
Gang:
Early bird gets the worm! The Ravens have told me that their ref for their critical AFC North game with CIN this week is… drum roll… the well-loved — not! — RON WINTER. He is the fourth ref to get a second Ravens game this year (including preseason), following Steratore, Triplette and Green…. and you can begin unloading… wait for it… NOW!
The Ravens are about to get Wintered.
Winter has not ref’d a Ravens regular season home game Ibelieve since 2006 or 2005
Tell me you couldn’t see that coming.
Yes, many of you DID see Winter on the horizon…
Joe, Yes we did, but we were holding out hope that we wouldn’t see see it until December 21st !!! LOL
Good bet now we see Morelli on Thanksgiving Night !!! Unless they keep McAULAY in his home town !!!
Just looked at week #12 and saw that McAulay is in Detroit already.
I’ll take Morelli for when my 49ers come in and beat up on the Ravens =)
Come on Kenneth, the 49ers have won more than 2 games this year, they have no chance of winning !!! The Ravens only lose to teams that have 1 or 2 wins !!! nlol
McAulay has not done a game at Kansas City since 2002
When will the league announce Winter is doing another game? With Ray out, they’re not going to need Ronnie to hose the purple and black this week.
Cam does a good enough job doing that just by himself, the way he calls the plays !!!
Preth, Hochuli is in Washington this weekend.
Conicidentally, Hochuli was also the referee between the Redskins and the Cowboys back in week 3 in North Texas.
Yes… I was at that game.. have over 70 photos or more.. I forgot! 😀
I’m not sure Shane. I don’t think that Hochuli usually does Thanksgiving games. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t.
I am surprised that the same ref would be assigned to the rematch. I believe Boger last year did both Cincinnati- Cleveland games
Gerry, you’re absolutely right.
Who is eligible for Bills/Dolphins? My guess is Riveron or Triplette
Carey, Coleman, Green, Leavy, Morelli, Parry, Riveron and Steratore.
Triplette in CHI…via media outlet…
This is the first time in a long time that Jeff Triplette will officiate an NFL game in the Windy City.
yes Shane first game since 2007
Thanks.
Good, I like Trips, now if only my Chargers could get a win…
its getting pretty dire for us charger fans..
Yeah, you’re telling me. Unfortunately I don’t think we can turn it around against Chicago.
In Denver: Bill Leavy
In Atlanta: John Parry
Preth, It’s a deadheat !!! lol
John Parry in Hotlanta for Titans-Falcons
So there is no rule about a ref working 2 divisional games between the same opponents in the regular season? (Hochuli scheduled to work 2nd WSH-DAL game this season)
Correct.
Steratore was in Cassell Coliseum for VT vs Monmouth basketball today, and I was front row, he didn’t get near me ever though during timeouts so I wasn’t able to ask him where he’ll be. He may be back tomorrow for day 2 of the NIT tournament so I’ll try then.
Someone find out who is the 49ers offial this week for me please, thanks and God bless
official* sorry for the typo
thats what it looked like
thats what it did look like
In Miami: Walt Coleman
Eagles @ Giants
Riveron
Boger
Carey
McAulay
Coleman
Scratch Coleman off, he’s in Miami.
Now, it’s down to either Carey or McAulay for PHI @ NYG.
That leaves Carey with either the Sunday night game or a bye.
Unless he has either the DET or SF games, which I assure you – while longshots – are entirely possible.
Most likely, he’s one of the three off crews.
Ok, whose got the Tampa bay vs green bay game sun??
We might not determine that one until Sunday morning.
We might not determine that one ahead of time.
Gene Steratore was reffing Penn State/Long Island college basketball game. Any news on where he is?
My GUESSES as to the rest of the puzzle.
JAX @ CLE – Corrente
CAR @ DET – Riveron
TB @ GB – Steratore
OAK @ MIN – McAulay
AZ @ SF – Morelli
PHI @ NYG – Boger
Joining Anderson in being off – Carey and Green
These are mine:
OFF: Anderson, Carey, Green
Jax@Cle – Corrente
Car@Det – Riveron
Oak@Minn- Steratore
TB@GB – McAulay
Phil@NYG – Boger
basically the same. haha. I’d bet money on Boger for SNF since he’s only had week 1 MNF in primetime, and Steratore always stays near his home once basketball starts up. I can’t see Corrente getting a potentially stressful game in light of this weeks news, and McAulay always gets a good matchup, so there we are
What was “this week’s news”?
It became public earlier this week, elsewhere, so I won’t hold it back. He is currently undergoing treatment for throat cancer.
That’s sobering and unfortunate. Thoughts and prayers are definitely with the Corrente family.
In Detroit:
Scott Green’s crew, led by Gene Steratore
A Photog friend of mine is suppose to be at the Panthers VS Lions game WK #11 2011
PANTHERS bounce back against the LIONS
Coincidentally, Steratore was the alternate ref to Green in Super Bowl XLIV.
Preth, Why is Steratore with Green’s crew ??? Any thing you know that you can talk about ???
This time, I don’t know.
Wonder why Steratore was working with Green’s crew(I live in West Bloomfield, MI) Real sorry to hear about Corrente-I wish him well.
Oh and I didn’t see that previous comment about Steratore/Green:otherwise I wouldn’t have mentioned it.
Pete Morelli has either JAX-CLE or ARI-SF. He will not be off.
Al Riveron and Jerome Boger also will not be off, but each can work most of the remaining games.
Terry McAulay is eligible for all remaining games, thus he’s not realistically off.
Gene Steratore is technically off, therefore only one officiating crew bye remains. It’ll belong to either Mike Carey or Tony Corrente.
Jerome Boger has OAK @ MN
Thanks – and Al Riveron has TB-GB. Both are now updated.
Al Riveron has TB @ GB
Terry McAulay in Cleveland.
Therefore, Mike Carey in New York, Pete Morelli in San Francisco, and Tony Corrente is off.
I think Ron Winter and his crew called a good game in Baltimore. I am not a fan of either team, but I believe the game was well officiated. I know we love to criticize Winter and Triplette, but let’s give credit where credit is due.
Also, Winter and Triplette had similar replays calls on TDs (the Calvin Johnson call from 2010) and both made the same, correct ruling.
Agreed. Ron made the right call on the Gresham play. Hopefully we won’t see him again, though.
I agree that Winter interpreted the rule correctly. However, I question whether the “Calvin Johnson” rule was applicable in that situation. IMO, Gresham had possession of the ball prior to crossing the plane of the GL which would effectively eliminate the CJ rule as part of the play.
Either way, it was not the flag fest that you sometimes expect with his crew and it was a good game from both teams and the crew.
Agreed, I’m Winter’s #1 un-fan, or at least top 5. He called a very fair game and I agreed with the TD reversal. I’ve been saying for a few weeks that Triplette has been doing a very good job this year.
I saw bits and peices, and I too criticize Winter for not being “as good” as others, but he has gained a lot of my respect in recent weeks, and gets massive props for getting buried and coming out, what appeared to be, just fine after collecting himself. He’s probably early 60s now.
